Title: Message
Bill,
you the man!
I was
just polishing my own script based on comments made by you and Bonno at the end
of the week! My modest efforts are attached as a .txt
file.
A few
comments from my own efforts:
The
wget compress optionto save me and Pete some bandwidth isn't working for
me. I don't know if the problems lies in my Win32 wget or in Pete's
webserver options. If it's Pete's server, then your gzip is happy to find
no compressed file, and return you the original format.
My
script checks the result file (your snfupd.txt) and skips the replace step if
the download was skipped or errored out.
My
script rotates the Sniffer log before quitting.
I'm
including it for posterity, and to help the folks in the cheap seats. I
haven't bothered with variables.

p.s.
Instead of Scheduled Tasks, I use the "AT" command from the command line so that
the update runs as the SYSTEM account; I'd rather have multiple AT commands than
remember to change the password on an account and all of it's Scheduled
Tasks.

[sniffer] Rulebase download script
Attached is an updated rulebase download script for
Windows environments that includes variable usage, better comments, gzip
compression via wget, new file testing before download, and the ability to
e-mail yourself the script results, if desired. This script has been
compiled from suggestions to this list and from my own script.
You will need to rename the script file from ".txt"
to ".cmd" in order to use (used ".txt" in order to bypass filter rules and
virus scanners). You can then schedule the script to run via "Scheduled
Tasks"
Enjoy!
Bill
